Thunderbird Hallmark Help Needed

I am not sure if this is a shop or a Silversmith hallmark. Came into it this week and I have had no luck with the books or online resources. It is nagging me as it seems familiar…stamped on the bolo back and the dangles. Cant even get a hit on Google image either.

@Christibo Hi ~ looks like the hallmark for Wayne Eagleboy. From my Hougart’s hallmark book. Give me a minute & I’ll post a photo. Does this look like a match to you?

I vote Wayne Eagleboy as well. Here is another of his works.

I knew this hallmark had been discussed before:

The style of his work and the use of .925 made me wonder if he is NM.
Not typical of SW NA work.
He’s Onondaga (Iroquois), a Northeastern woodland nation (New York). I’m a western US person and had never heard of Onondaga!

I just met someone who is Iroquois at the local YMCA. She was telling me how they did pine needle beading. I’ve been meaning to look that up.
